Registration Starts Today!

Registration for East Islip Library cardholders begins today at 9am. (Out of district cardholders may register starting Thursday, January 16, 2014.)  You may sign up, with your library card, online, in person or by telephone (unless otherwise noted).

Join your fellow teens for a lively discussion about books, library programs, music, gaming and everything in between.  Think you have an idea to make the library's YA department even more exciting?  Then come to a meeting and share your thoughts.  Tasty snacks are served and each participating member will receive one hour of community service.

New York Safe Boating Class  EIY703
Tues, February 19 (6-9pm), Wed, February 20 (6-9pm), Thurs, February 21 (7-9pm)
Ages: 10+       Fee: $50 CASH per person
Why wait until the last minute to get your boating license?  Recent New York State law requires that anyone born on or after May 1, 1996, must obtain a boating license; this supersedes last year's Suffolk County law that requires all boaters to obtain a license.  Additionally, all persons operating persona watercraft (Jet Skis) must have a boating certificate and be at least 14-years-old.  So come in from the cold and take this class to get it out of the way; the license earned in this class is good for both boats and Jet Skis and will last for a lifetime.  You must attend all three classes to obtain a certificate.  Please bring your library card and exact change when you register at the Reference Desk.


And don't forget about the variety of volunteer opportunities available to EIPL cardholders in grades 7-12.
